Hemp Milk Matcha Latte
The natural grassy notes of hemp milk perfectly complement ceremonial matcha, leaning into rather than fighting the earthiness of both.
By Aunesty Janssen · The Arrogant Hippie Culinary Journal: Hemp Milk Edition
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp Ceremonial Matcha Powder
- 2 tbsp Hot Water (not boiling)
- 1 cup Unsweetened Hemp Milk
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
Method
- Sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove clumps.
- Whisk in the hot water in a quick zigzag motion until smooth and slightly foamy.
- Warm the hemp milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming, then froth if desired.
- Stir the maple syrup into the warm hemp milk.
- Pour the hemp milk over the matcha and stir gently to combine.
Kitchen note
This is one of the few milk-and-matcha pairings where the milk's own flavor is meant to be noticed alongside the tea rather than staying neutral — the grassy, earthy overlap is the whole point.
